Motion: Approve harmonization submission deadlines to Oct. 19 and Nov. 3, respectively: (Abdul-Malik/Andy 6:0:0)

Discussion on whether 4 weeks notice is necessary. Agreed it is appropriate to allow for travel

Confirmation of Harmonization Deadlines

• Motion: (AMS/Andy) to move the harmonization deadlines to October 19th and November 3rd. Motion passes (7:0:0)

Use of gForge for Harmonization

• It has been proposed that we use gForge tracker functionality for collection harmonization proposals.
• The consensus was that this is a good idea, but there were concerns about using it for this cycle. There were concerns about the ability go extract the data for off-line viewing.
• Motion: (Craig/Andy) Harmonization proposals will be allowed (but not required) via gForge this cycle on an individual basis if the submitter obtains prior approval from Woody. gForge postings will need to be copied and pasted to a Word document and posted to the regular harmonization site. Motion passes (7:0:0)
